The St. Petersburg Times reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers PK Todd France will remain on the roster this week in case PK Matt Bryant (hamstring) cannot play. "I've never really been comfortable with hamstrings to even comment," head coach Jon Gruden said. "Every one of them is different, especially when you're talking about your kicker. So, we'll keep Todd France on the roster and we feel very comfortable with him going into Carolina." Bryant is questionable for the team's Week 14 game.

Buccaneers.com reports the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have promoted PK Todd France from their practice squad to their 53-man roster. The promotion of France does not necessarily mean he will be kicking in this weekend's game against the New Orleans Saints in Baton Rouge, as PK Matt Bryant (hamstring) remains on the active roster, too. However, it gives the Bucs an option and indicates that Bryant's status is still up in the air.
